The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has suspended the road clearing operation 2.0 to give way to the government’s protocol in preventing the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
According to DILG Secretary Eduardo Año, the suspension has been issued for local government units (LGUs) to focus on the prevention of the COVID-19 in the Philippines.
The LGUs have been given a 75-day deadline to clear the roads and sidewalks which started on February 17.
Meanwhile, 41 LGUs have already declared community quarantine.
